She-Hulk was conceived in 1980 by Stan Lee and John Buscema, though her first solo comic book series, The Savage She-Hulk, would continue the tales. Jennifer Walters, a reserved and polite attorney, is Bruce Banner's cousin. Her life was saved by Bruce's blood transfusion after she was critically hurt by a crime lord.

Jennifer became She-Hulk when her newly gamma-irradiated blood mingled with her rage. When she first appeared, she resembled the Hulk in that anger fuelled her change and power, but she quickly retained her intelligence and personality while gaining more confidence in her larger, green form.

She-Hulk Origin

Without the emergency blood transfusion Bruce Banner provided for Jennifer Walters, she would have perished at her debut. Due to this, Jennifer developed her own Hulk character, as seen in The Savage She-hulk (1980) #1.

Jennifer initially resembled the ferocious Hulk in her She-Hulk condition, but as time went on, She-Hulk began to reflect more on Jennifer's thoughts and attitude. In the pages of She-Hulk, Jennifer, who has struggled in recent years and even reverted to a more ferocious version of her Hulk, is once more in control of herself (2022).

In Savage She-Hulk #1, Jennifer Walters passes out after being shot by a criminal boss just as she realises her cousin Bruce Banner is really The Incredible Hulk. After recognising that they have the same blood type, Banner takes her home and begins fusing his blood into hers.

She-Hulk is still friends and allies with the majority of the world's Super Heroes and is frequently requested to help teams of this nature. She formerly served as a member of the Avengers, Defenders, and Fantastic Four, among other teams. Further, because of their long-standing friendship, she considers the Fantastic Four to be members of her family.

Jennifer Walters, an attorney who unintentionally ingested the Hulk's blood, is described by Canadian actor, Maslany as having a completely new origin narrative.

The She-Hulk comic canon is known for its inside jokes and breaking of the fourth wall, and viewers get a taste of how that translates to the show in the featurette as Jennifer waxes lyrical about all the MCU cameos that keep popping up in her world.

In addition to Ruffalo, we also catch a glimpse of Tim Roth's Emil Blonsky, aka Abomination, and Benedict Wong as Sorcerer Supreme Wong. At the conclusion of She-most Hulk's recent teaser, keen Comic-Con attendees also caught a glimpse of Charlie Cox as Daredevil.

What causes her to unintentionally "take in" Hulk blood then? She comes into contact with Bruce Banner's blood after the two are somehow involved in a car accident. Her lips, nostrils, or eyes may also become contaminated with his blood if she has an open wound.

Maybe it's all of the aforementioned. The infection can enter your system in a variety of ways, therefore it appears that Hulk blood functions similarly to zombie blood. And Jen appears to be in those improbable circumstances as a result of a vehicle accident.

Strangely, Bruce appears to be unconscious in the images that are displayed. Usually, injuries cause him to turn into the Hulk. But ever since Hulk and Bruce encountered some personal difficulties in Avengers: Infinity War, the status quo has been a little off.

However, in his Bruce shape, that merely increases his likelihood of bleeding – and bleeding heavily. It's entirely feasible that there are enough wounds and blood to cross-contaminate superpowers, depending on how bad the collision was.

On Thursday, August 18 at 12:30 IST, ">She-Hulk: Attorney at Law will premiere exclusively on Disney+ Hotstar in India. The nine half-hour episodes of the series will be streamable in English, Hindi, Tamil, Telegu, and Malayalam.

As Walters strives to strike a balance between her personal life and using her strength via strict training and discipline, She-Hulk observes that she is only making tiny steps. Since you don't often see a big, hulking, green-tinted lawyer representing a client, she also appears to have some sort of star status.

She-Hulk is incredibly tough and strong, with the ability to leap large distances and compete physically with some of the most powerful beings on Earth. Notably, she retains her intelligence in She-Hulk form, unlike Bruce Banner and others who have transformed into Hulk-like animals as a result of Gamma exposure.
